How to Start Sexting with Your Long-Term Partner: A Guide for Breaking the Routine

Breaking a sexual routine or expected script can be difficult. Despite knowing someone so intimately, like a long-term partner, initiating these conversations can still bring fear and doubt.

So how exactly do you initiate sexting with a long-term partner? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Suggest taking photos or videos with/of one another during your current sex play.

2. Ask how they feel about communicating their sexual desires and fantasies via text.

3. Discuss how, where, and if you will save your photos and/or videos. (This applies to everyone!!)

4. If they’ve expressed an interest, and you’ve received consent, initiate a conversation while you’re out to dinner, out of town, in different rooms, etc.

5. Ask how they would feel about adding sexting into your routine sexual scripts.

Yes, there might not be anything glamorous, sexy, or exciting about just asking your long-term partner if they’d like to start sexting, but it will likely provide you with the answer you’re seeking.
